last time I saw them was 96. I was living in Tucson, consulting for this company and became friends with one of the owners' sons. We were talking music one day and I said I was going to get tickets to see KISS in Phoenix and he was, "KISS?, really?" I said, dude, you've got to see them once, you'll see what I mean. So he came with us and by the end of the show, he got what I meant. The explosions, fire, blood, laser shooting guitars, rising stages, band members attached to harnesses flying over the audience, the total party atmosphere. It was Paul, Gene, Ace, and Peter too. I'll probably go see them one more time. A lot of artists I've been seeing for the last time it seems: Tom Petty sadly, Rush, Sabbath/Ozzy, Skynyrd, Elton.
